SCENE : 
New England Thanksgiving, 1735. 

Edward Winslow wrote from Plymouth to a friend in England, De- 
cember 11, 1 62 1 : "Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four 
men 011 fowling that so we might, after a special manner, rejoice together 
after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. At which times, among other 
recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, 
and among the rest their greatest King, Massasoit, with some ninety men, 
whom, for three days, we entertained and feasted, and they went out and 
killed five deer, which they brought and bestowed on our Governor." 

" The picture of that Thanksgiving Day, the blockhouse with its few 
cannon, the Pilgrim men in buff breeches, red waistcoats, and green or sod- 
coloured mandillions ; the great company of Indians, gay in holiday paint 
and feathers and furs ; the sad, over-worked, home-sick women, in worn and 
simple gowns, with plain coifs and kerchiefs, and the pathetic handful of 
little children, forms a keen contrast to the prosperous, cheerful Thanks- 
givings of a century later." — Customs and Fashions in Old New England.
